29% of homes in Ilkley are flats. The roof space above a top-floor flat usually belongs to the freeholder, so check your lease before any work.
Many households here (49%) own outright. Lofts that were insulated back when they moved in are often thin, dusty and due a look.
Signs that something is wrong up there include droppings, tunnels or shredded insulation, grey, dusty insulation that has lost its spring or spray foam stuck to the underside of the roof. If you’d rather not go up, we’ll look for you.

Loft problems in Ilkley: questions
What share of homes in Ilkley are houses?
71% are houses or bungalows; 29% are flats or maisonettes (Census 2021).
My loft insulation is decades old. Does it need replacing?
If it’s dry and clean, a top-up may be enough. If it’s dusty, damp or soiled, it should come out.
Where does new insulation go?
On the loft floor, between and over the joists, with the eaves kept clear.
Can’t you just put new insulation on top?
Not over damp, soiled or mouldy insulation. That hides the problem. We fix the cause first.
Do you work outside Ilkley?
I rent in Ilkley and there’s damp in the loft. What do I do?
